Sol: Yep, that was it. Thanks Greg

The other really annoying feature is while trying to download Service pack 1, it keeps locking the computer up, since I'm not doing anything with it. :crap: Anyway to stop that? S

Well, I installed 2003 on a box I'm putting together for a friend. It's going on an old P3 450 MHZ, 512 RAM, Cheetah boot drive. So far, it seems plenty snappy. This guy is even less computer savy then I. Is there a way to turn off the control-alt-delete at the start? Thanks Greg

hmmm, now the link doesn't go to the product. Sorry. GS

PLEASE!!! Apple releases buggy operating systems, expecting their loyal to sort out the bugs for only 129 dollars a year. :roll: WHY would ANYONE expect their free software to work, even at all? S

I had a Fossil Titanium Watch I bought at Sears. I think it 110 dollars. No allergies, and the watch was just fine. Can't find it right now. Cell phone took over the watches place. Probably ebay it if I find it. Greg

Mercutio: Does Windows put all the drivers in one file, that you could copy, for a driver backup? In other words, take the file, burn it to CD, with the installed drivers already there, rather then having to go searching for drivers? Or, does it just have to be shown a path to a file, so the...

Mercutio that's a great idea, and, a great way to backup your drivers. What is the exact address of the drivers file? Thanks Greg

Sechs: Yes, tried it once, didn't like the Gigabyte motherboard, Nvidia 3 Chipset, IIRC, and wouldn't install. Finding drivers was a hassle, but, that machine had a Matrox video card, and a few other fairly old components, not in the mainstream. Very funny Howell. :wink: Come to think of it...

I'm pretty happy with the ATI XL800X series of cards. Great gaming, very good 2d, not totally offensive software, overall about 9.5 on a scale of 10. I wish Matrox would come up with a decent gaming gpu, I still miss that crystal clarity you could get with the P650, or for that matter, P550. Greg

Mercutio: When I started out doing this, I wasn't ready to give MSFT 400 dollars for an OS. 2003 Server is not supported by a bunch of stuff. For example, Razer mouses software, only XP and 2000. I'm not going to sit here and tell you of all people, what's so cool about 2003 Server. To sum it...

It's just occured to me that I've got things backwards here. I have a gaming box with Windows 2003 Server Edition on it, and, my main machine has XP Pro on it. The only thing stopping me from switching is, it would be an incredible amount of work setting up the Dual Xeons again. Come to think...

Seems there were 3 of them. Deleted two, and, with one, it still works. Memory usage went down from 30,000, to 10,000. Who knows? McAfee didn't pick up anything. Nor did Trend, etc. Greg

Not any of the above. Just suck ass software from AOL... S

Just installed PC Maclan NT on 2003. BLUE SCREEN. No system recovery going back in time, and, even after deleting, still blue... Had to go back to last safe combination, and delete from there, and I was OK. S

What part of planet OZ? I'm ready to move... S

Well, it's air cat time again. It's spring, and, we've had more rain then you can imagine. Devil's Slide, Highway 1, south of San Fran, is washed out, for a long time. It's been raining for nearly 3 months, with SEVERE results. Around here, we have huge pollen bloom, along with massive...

Best time is 30 seconds with my Xeons. :o G

I might have thought this computer was updated, and forgot to check. My bad. Greg :oops:

3.99 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835166038

This is the fan I used, and it looks a bit bigger, and quieter, then the onboard cooling solutions. Plus, if it fails, the card isn't going to massive over heat.

David, Exactly. Should have updated the software..., and turned the printer on for the test. S

Funny part is, David REALLY likes one of the fans designed to blow across the GPU, and out of the case, but, through the same pci slot. In other words, if I understand correctly, the fan exists the air through the single plate. Hold on, let me look at this: Check that. I think it takes two...

Hi David setup a gaming, school rig for me, and, it's been great, except for one minor problem. The Gigabyte passive cooling system is NOT up to 8 hours of intensive Quake 4 play: it checkerboards. Last time I did it, I was thinking of switching cards with my Xeon box, but changed my mind...

No, I've been blowing the fuses around here with our microwave, so I shut the printer off, to save money. Turns out, after updating to 7.07, it does the job in around 15-30 seconds, and, starts kicking pages at 35 seconds. PEBCAKE!!! :oops: Gs

Updated to 7.07 and that seems to have solved the problem. Did it twice, in less then a minute. First time considerably less, like 15 seconds. S

Tried it again. Took 3 minutes to spool 10 pages. It looks like a Reader 6.0 problem. It goes to "Not Responding" in task manager for no reason. So, doing the math, 16 X3= 48 minutes to get ready to print. Have to try updating reader, maybe that will help. It only uses 3% of the processor, and...

I'm on a mouse roll. The Kensington Mouse in a Box is out of production. MY 60 dollar BoomerSpeed hasn't worked nearly as well as the old one. Couldn't go left with it, trying to play Quake 4. Took the trackball out, and, it feels egg shaped, seriously, egg shaped. That would explain it's...

HMMMM. I printed from a Dual Xeon 2.8 GHZ,2 gigs of ram,going to a HP 4000N, over my network. However, it maybe that PC MACLAN is the culprit, since for some reason, the card in the HP was setup for macs, and, without a intervening program, the computer is not viewed on the network, unless...

Got an Indian based, bad English email that Kensington doesn't have any trackballs for my mouse. :evil: S

Downloaded BugMeNot, then opened the file from Firefox, and it installed. Wouldn't do it from their server. VERY COOL. Thanks S

Sechs: Drop me a private with your email, and I'll attach the file, and you can try converting and printing it, if you'd like. The document won't print until it's converted, which in this case, meant changing from Micro to full size. S

Thanks I can't seem to get it to download from here. http://roachfiend.com/archives/2005/02/07/bugmenot/ Getting can't install due to download error messages. S

What is Bugmenot??? S

That's funny. I have a mouse in box that some low life student at Balboa did the same thing to. Have to give it a try. Thanks S PS Despise NIkon's website, software, and support. Anything mac, at this point. I really like Samsungs Laser Printers, have one that works just fine, and was...

My manual would require me to get a jeweler's lighted magnifying glass to read. I suspect the reason the manual took so long to print is that each page was tiny, and, reader had to resize each page to make it readable. It still failed to use the resources avaliable to speed up the process...

Try it after you forget that you logged in prior, without purchasing a Camera, because you wanted to look at the features and manual prior to purchase. Also, if you don't hit your magic little sequence, getting through the Nikon website is really annoying, and, when you get messages that you...

Before you can download the manual for your camera, to get a printable version, you have to go through a registration process, that requires screwing with cookies, etc. Then, you find out either your name is taken, or, you forgot the password, unclear which, or, you failed to register the...

*nix? s

Anyone else used AcroPDF? Tannin, I'm typing on a machine using Corel Suite 12, and, for 12.00, how in the world could you beat it with a stick??? OEM. My SO, Lisa, has used Wordperfect 8 and 9, and 12 has been bug free, and an easy transition. S

I thought it was the scanning features in Adobe Pro that might have made it worth more then a few cents. That said, it finally converted, and printed the Nikon D50 manual, but it took about a half hour. *nix? S

Right now, it's taken me 30 minutes to get into Nikon's website, and, another 15 minutes to print the manual, thanks to Adobe Acrobat Reader, 7.0. Adobe is becoming enough of my life I'm wondering if going up to Reader Professional might not be worth it? Anyone worked much with it, or that...

After a wonderful day at the office, I came home to a non-booting, SO computer. Pop in XP disk, try and boot from that. Forget I have to switch from the wireless keyboard and mouse, to the wired stuff. Find SCSI LSI drivers floppy. Do that, and, after a few, "windows does not detect any disks"...

Hi Has anyone had success using any VRS programs to do word processing documents? If so, what program did you use? Thanks S

OK: Been kicking around trying to figure this out, and so far, this is the site I've come up with: https://www.securepaynet.net/gdshop/hosting/hosting_build_website.asp?prog_id=insupport&ci=1805&se=%2B I gather the software allows easy access and changing of the webpage, without knowing HTML...

My bad. :wink:

Isn't S*ny famous for shipping with outdated firmware? I know I had to download, and install, the current version of their firmware to get the burner to burn at 8X, which was on the box. Otherwise, the old firmware it shipped with only went 4X. Costco is a great place. Returns without many...

Small community with that size rounds. JDJ, Lee Jurras, Linebaugh, Bakers, Brost, they all know each other. S

Ok Let's get specific. This is the website. http://www.jrhgunmaker.com/ The site needs to be added to easily, spell checked, and modified easily. Any suggestions on the easiest way to do this? Thanks Greg
